Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Fudge swirl:
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 4 ounces (115g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or over low heat. Stir in granulated sugar until combined. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
  3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly.
  7. Prepare the fudge swirl: Heat heavy cream until it starts to simmer. Pour over chopped dark chocolate and corn syrup. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  8. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Drizzle half of the fudge swirl over the batter.
  9. Add the remaining brownie batter on top, then dollop the rest of the fudge swirl.
  10. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the fudge through the batter, creating a marbled effect without over-swelling.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  12. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies fudgy. Use room temperature eggs to avoid lumps. Melt fudge ingredients slowly for a shiny swirl. Let brownies cool completely before cutting for clean slices. For extra gooey brownies, bake closer to 30 minutes and watch closely.
